Hears Administration Re

len Also Speaks.
(Continued from rare One.)
able to show In Its present mood of
distrust, or else because harsh suffer
ing has made them more fearful to
the menace of war.
‘‘But the adhesion which President
Harding proposes to the international
court is strictly limited by carefully
drawn stipulations which will no
doubt bo fully considered by the sen
ate. All we do If we ratify President
Hardings’ proposal—all the promises
wo make—the only obligation we take
are these and only these:
Terms of Entrance.
“W epromlse to pay a share of the
running expenses of the court, a mat
ter of less than $40,000 a year, and
we promise to take part with 48 other
nations in the choosing of the judges, i
The judges are me nof international
reputation, who sit nine years and are
freed of all prejudices except to main
tain principle and law.
“There is another section of op
ponents of President Harding's pro
posal who condemn the Idea, not be
cause they do not agree to Us pri
mary purpose and method .but solely
because It was erected under the
auspices of the league of nations. But
^ we are not by this act entering the
league In any sense. The connection
of the court with the league is Indeed
remote. Its sole relationship is that
the judges are selected as provided
in its own statute, not by the league,
but by the representatives of the na
tions to the league acting as an elec
tive body for this purpose. It is this
elective body that we join, not the
league.
"To some people, the league Is such
anthema that even Its many good acts
are bad. let us admit frankly that
there are among our people mgny
thousands perhaps hundreds of thou
sands who, as regards the phrase
'league of nations' are still under the
tyranny of emotions associated with
that phrase during the political con
troversy of tthe last four years. It
Is unhappily true that in such con
troversies a whrase is given an odium
which dlstruhs the orderly march of
entirely disassociated Ideas. What
they would willingly assent to as a
thing standing by Itself they shrink
from merely because it has associa
tion wdth a phrase.
Court American Ides.
“There are many people w-lio ap
parently maintain an open mind on
international co-operation by rear
rangement of their prejudices. Tha
court is already in exlatence. It is
largely the handiwork of American
thought and American ideas. For us
tc insist upon its being torn down
and re-erected just because It was
created by a conference called by the
league (in Which Americans took
part), is ong of the most unseemly
uggestions of national selfishness
?■■■! that can he conceived.
"Another section of the opponents
( t President Harding's proposal con- j
demn it because It does not go far
enough; because it has no teeth in
■ it. This is the basas of Senator
liorah's objection. I admit the en
lightement and the courage of his
position. He would have an interna
tional cour^ of such strength that it
would try w-ar Itself and would have
us join it In such a manner that
we would he obligated to its juris
diction. Senator Borah's Internatlonsl
court .in its relation to the nations,
would be somewhat an anology to the
supreme court of the United States
in Ita relation to our states.
"Now, by all means, let us have no
quarrel—on the contrary, let us have
. drniratlon and respect—for those who
show the vision and the courage to
go this whole distance. But. let us
admit that as a practical matter, for
reasons familiar to all of you, America
Is not ready to go this far.
Judge Allen Speaks.
The abolition of war as a legal
system was advocated and the method
in which thsl may he accomplished
outlined by Judge Florence E. Allen of
the Ohio supreme court speaking be
fore the league.
The steps proposed by Judge Allen
to accomplish this, are;
“That war be outlawed and de
clared a crime, under the law of na
tions, and that It's use as a means
of settlement of disputes he abolished.
"That a conference of civilized na
tlons be held for the creation and
codification of itnernational law on
the basis of equity and right.
"That a court be established with
jurisdiction over alt purely Interna
tional disputes as defined by the In
ternational code.
Make War Crime.
"It )» not possible nor necessary to
ablish the causes of war before we
make war illegal." Judge Allen de
clared. "We did not abolish Jealousy,
hatred, greed, nor tho other human
emotions which give rise to killings
before we made murder a crime.
"We have certain law* about war
hut none against war. There are laws
as to how wars shall be made, but
they do not formid war.
Tho spirit which holds that killing
la right, kills women, as well as men,
tho old with the young, the little
rhildren, the sick as well as the
sound, fails to regard hospitals and
uses of poison gase». There are
atrocities of war, but they pale Into
Insignificance beside war which is
the supreme atrocity.
"Wo should declare that was Is a
crime against civilisation and outlaw
1t as such.
Cannot Use Force.
"The court's decrees must not be
enforced by physical power. You
cannot eliminate force between na
tions by using force. The seeds of
hatred sown In using force to repress
war are Just a« evil as those sown
In tho war which the froce was em
ployed to repress.
"I.s.ws are not enforced through
physical force only. They are also
enforced through public opinion. The
better part of law enforcement Is
done through public conscience. That
^ Is because real laws, which gave a
moral basis, are the expression of the
moral feeling of the community. Tills
desire not to war will finally be the
inoei potent force toward peace end
hence we should express the luw if
for no other purpose than to release
M»l# fores.’’
Mathilde McCormick
and Max Osier Married
Mathilde McCormick.
Hjr InDrrsal Umlri.
Paris, April 11.—Mathilde McCor
mick and Max Oser, her Swiss riding
master sweethert. were married se
cretly several months ago and have
since been traveling about Europe on
their honeymoon, according to a re
port reaching Universal Service from
a reliable source.
Intimate friends of both credit the
report, asserting that Mathilde and
Oser have not officially announced
their marriage owing to a fear that
either he rfather or mother might de
mand that the marriage he annulled,
due to the fact that Mathilde was un
der age.
For the same reason none of Ma
thilde's 101111)3108, not even her father,
have been acquainted with Mathidle's
address since January, when the cere
mony is believed to have taken place
In a small Italian village on the bor
der of Switzerland.
To be married In Italy, Switzerland
or France, Mathilde either overstated
her age or obtained the consent of her
parents.

Oinahan Escapes Death
as Train Strikes Auto
Special Dlspelrh to Th* Omaha Baa.
Fremont, Neb. April 10.—Anson
Shephard. Omaha, representative of
the Norse Oil company, narrowly
escaped fatal injuries wh»n his car
was struck by a Burlington locomo
tive oil the Main street crossing in
Fremont.
The engine struck the rear wheel
of Shephard'* car, the impact throw
ing the auto clear off (ho tracks.
Shephard was approaching the
crossing when he heard the warning
gong and saw the watchman guard
ing the tracks. If* believed that the
warning was meant for the Burling
ton train that had just pulled In and
failed to see another passenger train
coming from the opposite direction.
The fact that the train was coming
to a stop at the time of the accident,
averted a serious mishap.
